1. FROM IEEE INTERNET COMPUTING: GUEST EDITORS' INTRODUCTION <article>
Dynamic Information Dissemination
<http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/2007/08/w4gei.html>


Krithi Ramamritham and Prashant Shenoy
Dissemination and delivery of rapidly changing information to large user
communities remains a challenge on the Web. Consequently, we need
techniques to disseminate such data as efficiently as possible.
http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/2007/08/w4gei.html

2. FROM IEEE SOFTWARE <article>
Interaction-Based Design for Mobile Collaborative-Learning Software
<http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/2007/08/s4lag.html>
María Ester Lagos, Rosa Alarcón, Miguel Nussbaum, and Francisca Capponi
Interaction-based design encapsulates pedagogical expertise and,
together with a flexible architecture, facilitates the creation,
extension, reuse, and composition of educational software
products.http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/2007/08/s4lag.html 



3. WORKS IN PROGRESS
Device Middleware for Mobile Applications
<http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/2007/08/o8001wip.html>
D-Mid (Device Middleware) supports mobile applications built on
different programming languages but running on the same device, so the
applications can communicate.

4. EDUCATION
High-Performance Computing in High Schools?
<http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/2007/08/o8002edu.html>
Tom Murphy
If high-performance computing in community colleges seems odd, HPC in
high schools is even stranger.

5. FROM IEEE INTERNET COMPUTING: TOWARD INTEGRATION
A Smooth Concurrency Revolution with Free Objects
<http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/2007/08/w4tow.html>
Rachid Guerraoui
To get concurrency to the masses, we need a simple way to exploit
parallelism with languages that common developers are already used to. A
pragmatic approach might be to explore ways to implicitly extract
parallelism from current object-oriented programs by overloading OO
constructs.
http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/2007/08/w4tow.html

6. FROM IEEE INTERNET COMPUTING: SPOTLIGHT
XML Processing and Data Integration with XQuery
<http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/2007/08/w4spot.html>
Jonathan Robie
Learn about how to use XQuery for native XML processing and data
integration, other technologies used in the same space, and some XQuery
extensions for scripting and updates that are under way.
http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/2007/08/w4spot.html

7. NEWS
The Politics of DDoS Attacks
<http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/2007/08/o8003news.html>
Greg Goth
News about distributed-denial-of-service attacks on Estonian government
Web sites might have represented more smoke than fire.

http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/2007/08/o8004bks.html

9. From IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PARALLEL & DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS<article>
A Latency-Aware Partitioning Method for Distributed Virtual Environment
Systems
<http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/2007/08/trans.html>
Pedro Morillo, Silvia Rueda, Juan Manuel Orduña, and José Duato
A partitioning approach for providing latency below a threshold to the
maximum number of users in Distributed Virtual Environment systems.
